What is a similarity between comet and asteroid?
They both revolve around the sun and they are both smaller than planets or moon.
What is a rock or metal that is smaller than an asteroid that orbits the sun?
A rock or metal that is smaller than an asteroid and orbits the sun is known as a meteoroid. Meteoroids are space rocks that range in size from tiny particles to larger boulders. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star.
Put the following in size order smallest first. Comet. Sun. Asteroid. Planet and moon?
The generally accepted order would be Comet, Asteroid, Moon, Planet, Sun. However, there is considerable overlap in sizes among asteroids and moons. Some of the moons of Saturn are fairly small, and the moons of Mars are both smaller than the average asteroid.
Is Ceres the biggest of an asteroid or a comet?
Ceres is smaller than any planet; even smaller than Pluto.
Which is most likely to be a more frequent visitor of earth a comet or an asteroid why?

Is Ceres larger than comet and asteroids?
It IS an asteroid. (The biggest.)
Chunk of material smaller than an asteroid that orbits the sun?
That would be a meteoroid. Meteoroids are smaller pieces of debris in space that can range in size from dust grains to small rocks. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a meteor or shooting star.
What is a outer-space rock that is smaller than an asteroid is a?
Objects below a diameter of about 10 meters are called meteorites.
Is a comet smaller or bigger than the earth?
Depends on the comet. Size varies. But they are usually smaller.
What is A rocky object that is more likely to hit the earth than a comet?
An asteroid
Is Pluto now an asteroid belt?
No. Pluto is considered a "dwarf planet" and in terms of composition is more like a comet than an asteroid.
Is an asteroid bigger or smaller than the Earth?
Asteroids are much smaller than Earth.
